Love to wheels!

I like go out and take photos of subway, trains and buses. Well, I take photos to landscapes, cityscapes, streets and other subjects but... I want to write about my photos of public transport.

People ask me frecuently: why? why I take photos of it? why I have this "passion"? I really don't know, I have theories and usually I say something like: "in my childhood, my dad show me the trains or the subway", other people knows a version that said: "With the arrive of Internet, I could see photos about subway and I want to take my own photos and show it to the people", some people thinks that I like it because I did a guide with the services of Transantiago. Each version is ok! There is not an one explanation!

Years ago, I really didn't like the question... there are people that like cars, soccer, artist; for me is the same, only changes the subject! But well, people are curious! In other way, I like their curiosity and I feel good when they ask me to tell my story. Specially, when people remember me through photos, public transport or send me messages with congratulations or nice comments!

It's a photo of Neptune workshops. Metro de Santiago organized a visit on 2010. When I studied at a school located in the downtown, everyday I used the subway for the travel and I loved it! My dad said that I am the only person that have a real smile in the journey. My real dream was to be the best photographer of subway and my (I believe impossible) other dream was to know the workshops. It is a dream fulfilled.

Thank you for read!  

Elton Mayo

Hi! It's another good day on Earth now! Well, do you know that I study Public Administration? I will talk about Elton Mayo, a person that had a really good influence in my career and the industry.

He was an Australian doctor, sociologist and psicologist (a really complete man eh!). Why is he so important? In these times, people (administrators) thinks that the only important variable of production was time, so they trying to save time, for this reason and according to the specialization of work, each person has only one little thing to do in his work and this work was repeated mechanically.

Elton Mayo did experiments with people, searching for other variables of production. He discovered the motivation, the influence of light and the importance of the breaks at work although the most important thing was the notion of the relevance of good social relations at the work.

The next post... hahahaha I will talk about something I like so much, it will be hard to choose!

My favourite band: U2

Well, the teacher ask to me to post about my favourite band. I think that I don't have one, because I only like certain songs from artists and bands, but I am not a real fan. Hardly I would think to pay to see one, I prefer to listen them at Youtube. Thinking a lot, I could put U2, Travis and, maybe, Coldplay. But for this post, I choose U2.

U2 are a band from Ireland. Searching on Internet (I am a bad fan eh, I really don't know the names of the integrants) I could knew that exists other important names aside from Bono, the vocalist. They are The Edge (guitar), Adam Clayton (bass guitar) and Larry Mullen Jr (percussion).

I am surprised to read that they formed at school, I am really happy that they could perform their dreams. The reason why I like and choose is because they have good songs, I feel more energetic when I listen them and they have Christian roots. I will let you one of my favourite songs, I interpret the place that they sing as the Kingdom of Heaven, and also as an intimate world between two people. It's really beautiful.

If someday (surely) I die, I want that people who love me remember me with this song.


Greetings!

Mini Autobiography

Hello!! My name is Ariel Cruz.

I was born in Santiago, in the autumn of 1992. I have a nice childhood. I live with my parents and my little sister. I studied at Colegio Ensenada and La Salle Institute in my primary education. Subsequently I studied at National Institute in my secundary school.

In that stage of my life, I discovered some of my actually hobbies like the public transport, amateur photography, writing; I take advantage of study at downtown and I travel through the city.

Firstly, I study History at University of Chile, but I presented vocational problems and I prefer to renounce. The following year, I used the last PSU score for study Public Administration at the same university. Actually, I am second year student and I have good friend and good scores.
